The article notes that Supervisor Candland says that independent league teams have expressed an interest in moving into Pfitzner should the P-Nats leave. It still seems to me that the best course of action is simply to renovate the Pfitz to keep the P-nats.

They also could build a new stadium right next door to the Pfitz. I believe both options have been explored. I think the basic problem is that Silber does not have that much $ and needs the county to put up most of it.

also, single A ball. Getting a local government to do something stupid for a major league baseball stadium is easy, when you're talking about single A, good luck

Yep. He's again talking about raising private funds, but he wasn't able to do that before even after promising repeatedly that he had a deal for the naming rights.

They've had a waiver from the Carolina League for 3-4 years for failing to meet minimum standards. I doubt that the Carolina League would extend them again after making zero progress the left 3-4 years.

Probably; may depend on whether or not the league has another location lined up.

My guess is if there was another location, it would have been used to threaten prince William into building a new stadium

Agree. It's pretty clear the Carolina League doesn't have cities banging down its door, or they would have had a second city (along with Kinston) ready to take the team that is in Buies Creek now pending the stadium in Fayetteville. It's always seemed to me that the obvious solution here was for the Nats to buy the team and handle the stadium, but if that were in the cards it would have been done long ago.

So about that lease to use the Pfitz: "The Sheriff of Nottingham" blog reports that the cost of the P-Nats to use the Pfitz is that they must pay 71% of the electric bill. That's it. The county pays for everything else, and Silber gets all the revenues from parking, advertising, tickets, and concessions.

Who in their right mind would continue going to games there? I knew people in PWC weren't the brightest bunch, but damn.

IF you've been to other minor league stadiums (stadia?), the Pfitz is really a bare bones venue. So many are much nicer.

Shame on Silber for the fraud that he has been perpetrating on the fans and the public that he is always just a short time away from getting a new sponsor or investor or tax break, etc., that will enable him to build a new venue for the fans.

Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeriste don't come to Loudoun. Our pols are incapable of doin' any deal that doesn't include a billion dollar "bribe". I can't wait to see what they're offerin' Amazon. We're still waitin' on the multi-function stadium (baseball, soccer, concerts, etc.) they promised 5 years ago.

I think if the Single A Nationals are going to stay in the area the Lerners are going to have to put up some money.
